pronunciator
a new, compact, portable, economical language trainer
The Newcomb Pronunciator is a four-speed, variablespeed, compact phonograph with an earphonemicrophone headset. It is desig^ied primarily as a pronunciation comparator in foreign language teaching, but it will undoubtedly find many additional applications in libraries, laboratories, reading rooms, and other classrooms. The Pronunciator is an efficient teaching tool for pupils of all ages. When the student repeats a word into the microphone, he hears exactly how his voice sounds to others as well as how closely his pronunciation approximates that of the recorded voice. Circuit of vocal sound through microphoneamplifier-headphones in effect bypasses hearing through bone conduction — the usual means of subjective perception — and gives an accurate, objective representation of how the student's voice really sounds. There are separate volume controls for phono and microphone. The Pronunciator is equipped with the Newcomb Acra-Set tone arm lifter. This permits, with the turn of a knob, introduction of a pause between words and simplifies repetition of a passage. It also
protects the record. The Pronunciator capitalizes on the advantages inherent in disc recordings ready availability, low cost, and ease of operation. Virtually all students are already familiar with phonographs and will know how to operate the Pronunciator with only a minimum of instruction. Not only is the acquisition cost low, but the Pronunciator requires no architectural modification or expensive construction. Yet it is surprisingly versatile, has an input jack for audio signals from a tape recorder, radio, or teacher's amplifier, also has an output jack to teacher's monitor and an a.c. outlet for film projector. It requires little maintenance, is as ruggedly built and dependable as all Newcomb Audio equipment. It weighs just 12'/4 pounds, can be easily carried from one room to another or taken home for special assignments. It takes up little room in storage -measures 6%"x9%"xl4?4 ". It plays any size record up to 12". Write for your free copy of Bulletin AV-11 which describes the Pronunciator in detail. Handy bid specifications are also avail-able to qualified personnel.
